Residents at an aged care facility north of Adelaide have been evacuated after a fire broke out at the centre.

Fire crews were called to the blaze in Angle Vale on the Adelaide Plains about 9am on Friday.

The fire started in the ceiling of the communal hall, triggering the alarm and sprinkler system.

All residents were safely evacuated from the building without any injuries.

It took more than 20 firefighters to extinguish the blaze given the difficult location. 

Investigators do not believe the fire was suspicious, although the aged care facility sustained about $400,000 worth of damage.
